Community college student and SJSU admissions staff member at Super Sunday 2010

Tirus Ashford of San Jose asks questions about transfering to SJSU from community college at Super Sunday 2010.

Emmanuel Baptist Church, Maranatha Christian Center, and Bible Way Christian Center will welcome Interim President Don W. Kassing and Vice President for Student Affairs Jason Laker for CSU Super Sunday on Feb. 13.

“Super Sunday is an opportunity to highlight the value of receiving a college degree,” said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. “Nearly eight in 10 future job openings in the United States will require postsecondary education. We want to make sure that each year more African American students graduate from college and are able to compete for these jobs.”

Statewide events, reaching more than 100,000 churchgoers, are part of CSU’s outreach to educate students and families about the requirements to successfully enter college and obtain a degree. Participants also receive information about financial aid and the CSUMentor web site that provides the tools to plan and apply to a CSU campus.
